This coming Wednesday in Hobart ✨✨✨

We understand that the recent announcements and uncertainty surrounding the NDIS can bring up a lot of worry and stress for families. It’s completely normal to feel this way when the systems we rely on feel unpredictable.

At Hobart Wonderings, we’re here to support you through these challenges. Whether it’s understanding the changes, advocating for your child, or simply having someone to listen, we’re here for it.

We don't have any clarity but we are joining the local consultations regarding Thriving Kids. There are consultations meetings for families if you have the band-with.

Details are below:
Representatives from the Department of Premier and Cabinet, together with Nous Group consultants will be in:

Burnie on Monday, 18 May
Launceston on Tuesday, 19 May
Hobart on Wednesday, 20 May

Families and community members are invited to participate in an information and community drop-in session to hear about and share your perspectives on Thriving Kids.

Service providers and State Government service delivery agencies are also invited to participate in engagement sessions to explore what Thriving Kids means for services.
